In the Czech Republic, there is a noticeable trend among investors who are increasingly focusing their financial efforts on real estate rather than on innovative startups. This shift has resulted in significant challenges for emerging businesses, which are finding it harder to secure necessary funding for growth and development. Many argue that this obsession with 'bricks,' or tangible assets, hampers the dynamic startup ecosystem needed for economic advancement.

As a consequence of the lack of investment, many Czech startups are either struggling to survive or considering relocating to countries with a more favorable investment climate. The narrative around the startup scene suggests that without substantial backing from investors, these companies may become stagnant or exit the market altogether. This situation raises concerns about the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the Czech entrepreneurial landscape.

Experts warn that if this trend continues, the Czech Republic could miss out on potentially transformative technologies and innovations that startups often bring to the economy. The situation calls for a reassessment of investment priorities by Czech investors to bolster the growth of startups, ensuring that the economy does not become overly reliant on the real estate sector, which can be volatile and may not provide sustainable job growth in the future.
